Mesothelioma Attorney Serving West Virginia
Asbestos-related disease is very serious and tragic, especially since most cases were preventable.
Even though the health risks of asbestos were known, many manufacturers continued to use the dangerous substance in thousands of products.
And many employers failed to warn workers of the dangers of asbestos exposure or provide them with proper safety equipment.
In other words, many corporations deliberately neglected worker safety and needlessly exposed millions of workers to asbestos in the following kinds of industrial settings:
- Chemical manufacturing and processing plants
- Steel mills and the metal industry
- Power plants
- Construction trades, such as pipefitters and electricians
- Shipyards
- Mining sites
- Construction and demolition sites
How Mesothelioma Attorneys in West Virginia can fight for you
While asbestos usage waned in the 1990s, workers are still being diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses today because it often takes decades for symptoms to appear including the following:
- Difficulty breathing
- Chest pains
- Persistent cough
- Fatigue upon physical activity
- Shortness of breath
Asbestos-related diseases, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer, are diagnosed using sophisticated x-rays, such as MRIs and PET or CT scans.
The cancers are typically treated with chemotherapy and radiation, among other advanced treatment options. Since patients are typically diagnosed when their disease is at an advanced stage and therefore life-threatening, their medical treatment can be very expensive and complex.
The legal challenge to recovering financial damages is proving the source of the exposure, especially since the typical victim worked at many different industrial plants.
